The buzz around the internet is of the return of McDonald's Monopoly. A game that for many years was a fun tradition, if we ignore how it was later revealed to be laced in fraud due to a few bad actors. In the 1990s, I remember the fun of sticking collected pieces to the foldout gameboard sheet and feeling that I was this close to winning something monumental. The most I ever did win was a $50 gas gift card, but the free instant wins were always nice.
Now with the return, albeit with more mobile-centric digital aspects than ever before, I see a lot of press talking about it but with no detailed rundown of the actual odds of winning the multitude of prizes offered. I therefore have taken the time to compile a list of odds and present them in a clean and sortable table below. These have been compiled by combing through the exhaustively long Official Rules page on McDonald's website.
In Summary: Most of the even marginally valuable prizes including a turntable bundle or HDTV have comparable or worse odds than winning a major jackpot in a state lottery. We are talking 1 in 153,223,743 chance of winning a 77" TV at Best Buy. By contrast, winning $1 million in the Power Ball has a 1 in 11,688,054 chance. In other words, you are 13 times more likely to win a million dollars on a lottery ticket than to win a consumer television through McDonald's Monopoly.
- Total Game Pieces Distributed: 644,657,971
- Instant Win Food Prizes: 122,771,445 (1 in 5.25 Win Chance; 19.04%)
- McDonald's Reward Point Prizes: 6,075,707 (1 in 107 Win Chance; 0.93%)
- Overall Odds (Mostly Food): 1 in 5 (20%)
This year the prizes are generally split into the traditional physical pull pieces and, to a larger extent, online bonus redemptions through the app.
